Yup.
He is not a “natural born citizen”. His father WAS NOT an American Citizen.
All the argument about where he was born is kind of fluff and irrelevant. If it could be proved he was born in Kenya, that solidifies the case.
But he could have been born on the White House steps - and he still would not be a “Natural born Citizen”.
“...he could have been born on the White House steps - and he still would not be a “Natural born Citizen”.”
Exactly.
The birth certificate is actually a red herring, just as Presdient Arthur’s accuser charged him with being born in Canada, a charge that was false. It doesn’t really matter where he was born, he would still not be a natural born citizen.
Rather, Arthur’s father simply hadn’t yet naturalized as a U.S. citizen when his son was born in Vermont. He didn’t naturalize until 14 years after Chester A. Arthur’s birth.
